McHale did indicate he went with bench last night because of how they were playing, not because of Harden's sore foot.

Mchale says James Anderson will start for Harden (out with ankle). Also: Greg Smith to start at 4 tonight to better match up w/ Griffin.

McHale: Harden's foot has been bothering him for awhile.Said "D-Mo has 2 fouls before he can break a sweat" as reason for starting GSmith.
